stevvie Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I have a 4coreDual-VSTA MOBO I have installed steveo's 775Dual-VSTA package and got everything working (including sound) and SATA but get this error message on bootup "Disk Insertion, the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with the following buttons INITIALIZE IGNORE EJECT. The drive shows up in system profiler under Serial-ATA with the right size/medel and all but isn't readable. It's my WindowsXP boot drive that is NTFS, I have another NTFS drive on the ATA channel that is readable just fine. Any idea's ?

Oracle67 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 You are right (Northbridge: VIA® PT880 Ultra/Southbridge: VIA® VT8237A) it is my mistake. Os X gives that error? If yes you must to press ignore, otherwise you will destroy your windows installation. Opposite also will destroy os x. This is the reason to save some spare space like swap partition formated fat32 just to comunicate system with system.

stevvie Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 It reads the SATA controller OK and can even see the RIGHT drive/model number and I can read my NTFS drive thats on the IDE bus.

Oracle67 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 You cannot go in to the disc to copy, paste, modify..leave it better like that. Better use a fat32 partition to transfer things from system to system. Chek this http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry364899 it maybe help you.
